The Dry Dock Waterfront Grill is located at the south end of Longboat Key at the Boathouse marina, just a few minutes from St. Armand’s Circle, Mote Marine, and downtown Sarasota. As locals will tell you, we are best known for serving one of the best grouper sandwiches on Florida’s West Coast. We feature panoramic views of Sarasota Bay from our inside second story dining area, or enjoy dining outdoors on our dockside patio.
